A380 Door and Landing Gear Animation

Model of landing gear and doors for Airbus A380. As a senior detail design project for a class, the doors were to be redesigned with attention paid to weight and strength. As part of 5 person team, I was in charge of the CATIA modeling and component design - the rest of the team was in charge of hand calculations and analysis (using NEi NASTRAN). Due to time constraints, only the outer L-shaped door was analyzed, but I modeled everything just in case. The landing gear were also modeled and the whole assembly was animated to ensure a clash-free model. The landing gear were modeled using a few reference pictures. Several dimensions, including the wingspan, length, and landing gear locations were verified with Airbus' data to ensure accuracy. Though it was a detail design project, I still consider this a preliminary model because there is still a ways to go before I would consider it complete.

Someone finally paid attention to the gear tilt

[No-iscj]

no idea why this is in my feed ~5 years later but

very satisfying animation 10/10 would watch again

[redstoyotarunnerwithstri-hpgm]

amazing how when the gear is down, the doors fold back down just partway to allow a little more aerodynamics

[nathanr]

i have no idea why this is in my recommended lmao

[henrykaung]

The 777 and the 747 tilt gears are still my favourite!

[LunaticLacewing]

Loops perfectly, nothing less than what i expected

[muizsp]

Thank you for existing on my recommendation

[caza]

Feels weird this popped up on my recommend after taking of Kinematics of a Machine Subject
I feel like I'm being stalked hahahahahaha

[CraftingTableMC]

YouTube kept pushing this into my face, I always kept ignoring this





I regret ignoring this

The landing gear door cover working used of electrical motor and main landing gear using of hydraulic pressure system

Perfect, Just What I Needed For My Animated A380 Im Gonna Make For My Roblox Airline

The engineering behind this is amazing. But surely I can't be the only one who is concerned about the number of moving parts? I'm sure a lot of those parts are critical components and in the case of the door which folds back down, allows for greater aerodynamics > greater fuel efficiency. But at what costs? More moving parts equal more maintenance and more importantly, greater risk of failure mid-flight.

Why gear tilts when he is going to retract?

[rafabartoski]

Thank you sir now I have a trip travel

But, still pretty cool

With an a380 the gears should be tilted forward, not backward, but good job!

[karolysimon]

What app or website did you make it on

[yuvarajbadiger]

Surprised that it can handle the weight of the aircraft... Those upper arms are very thin infact.

[anthonyglee]

Never knew about the little secret door!

Very interesting animation. However, I’m still skeptical on the depiction of the main oleo. How and where is it supported to the fuselage?
